We flew into the Pueblo airport, and tried to go to another restaurant, but they closed due a forecasted cold/snow snap. We liked the food here, wait staff were nice and prompt. This is an old timey bar that I would hesitate to go in, judging from the outside, but it was fine. Draft beer served in room temp schooners. read more

This place is great in so many ways. I was blessed with a great experience. It could have been the beer but I'm thinking it was spot on. Our server was really nice and observant. I had the Philly and rings my friend had tostadas. We also ordered pork skins (chicharrones), nice and crunchy. I will most definitely be back. I loved the vibe of this place too. Everyone was drinking and enjoying themselves and it was only 11:30. I loved it!! read more

Some kind of Cajun shrimp pasta. Lots of shrimp. I broke out in a little sweat, which is good to tell me it was a tad spicy. It was the special of the day, which I think is the way to go. Otherwise, they have standard Pueblo bar food: burgers, a couple of sandwiches and Mexican food. I should come here more often. read more

This is what a neighborhood bar/ restaurant is all about. This location came recommended by a family member who lives in town. Because of this reason we had to stop by. This spot is right in a neighborhood and looks like it's been here forever. This place has history. They are all about community. Supporting the locals which you can see on the walls and reaching out all the way north. We happened to stopped on a Saturday morning when CU was starting to play, this place picked up and all the staff was wearing their CU gear - supporting all the way in Pueblo, Co. now let me tell you about the food- sorry no pics we were hungry. We started with chips and salsa. Homemade chips super delicious. It's a full bar great prices but since we are far from home- no drinks. I got bowl of menudo w/2 tortillas. Pretty standard. My son his is super picky got French toast. However the meal that my man happened to get was called the "Slopper" with2 extra eggs. It had potatoes, green chili,2 sausage patties, bacon, cheese and 2 eggs. He got tortillas on the side. Sounds like a lot but he shared with me. Food was real good. The icing on the cake was how nice and welcoming the whole staff was to not just us but everyone who walked in the door. We were even introduced to the owner. Once we were done eating my man said he could see being a regular at this place if we lived there. I felt so at home and just like a regular. read more

Decent place - family run so friendly. Was busy considering the low capacity we are adhering to. We ordered the cheese burger and chicken enchiladas with both green and red chilli. I got a Moscow mule and my friend got a beer on the tap. Everything was decent. Not amazing, I-cant-believe-how-tasty-this-is, decent enough to enjoy the food. I liked the green chili more than red chili. Would've liked more flavor to the chicken iny enchiladas. The burger was again, a decent burger. My friend got ghost pepper cheese which was awesome!! The moscow mule was good but not terribly strong. The beer was actually good. read more

Went in, there were only two occupied tables in the entire restaurant. The waitress asked me what she could do for me. I asked her if I could have a table for one and she said yes. I asked her if I could sit on the patio and she said yes. I proceeded to wait about 15 minutes before a man came out and said "Good thing my daughter told me you were here!" He asked for my drink order; I asked if I could have a menu. About one minute later the woman, I must now assume was the man's daughter, brought me a Pepsi and a menu, as requested. She said she forgot about me because she was caught up talking to another customer. I hope that customer tipped her well! I then proceeded to wait another fifteen minutes without service, in a restaurant which was 95% empty. I collected my belongings and left, with no staff saying a word to me. Seems like they *really* didn't want to take my order... I had never been in before, and won't be back. read more

Outstanding service, great Slopper and Fish and Chios; definitely worth trying with a nice cold beer; green chile medium hot but very tasty!

Great food and place to chill with family and friends. I try to visit this place every time I am in town.

Aid you haven't been yet you're missing out. This place is a gem. Fantastic food and great service. You can't go wrong with anything off the menu but the slopper is my fav. Probably in the top three in town. read more

Good food and atmosphere, we like this place food is delicious and price is fair, we will be back !

Meh! The young lady behind the bar and serving tables was attentive and helpful, but food was just okay. My friend had a slopper and enjoyed it; I asked whether they could cook a burger anything less than well done and was assured I could order it any way I wanted. Well, it was true that I could ORDER it any way I wanted, but apparently the kitchen only cooks burgers well done. My bottled beer was barely cold enough to drink. I don't punish wait staff for kitchen issues, so I still tipped just over 20%. I think it's gonna be a while before I return. read more

We started with the chicharrones, absolutely perfect! Followed by one of the best burgers I've had in a long time.... Will definitely be back next time in Colorado. read more

Polito's Beer Barrel - Fries, tea and a Modelo. - Bars Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

Ordered 4 bacon cheeseburgers with fries for pickup. The meat was tasty & delicious-cooked to perfection! The bun (not hard but sturdy til the last bite!) with lettuce tomato & toppings--tasty! The fries are fresh cut not frozen. I strongly recommend ordering these instead of a fast food joint as well as supporting our local restaurant! read more

Nice local bar for Sundays and Boody Mary's! Enough tvs old restaurant style seating.

Awesome atmosphere. Food was great. Try the french toast! Locals hang here and the place is always full. That's a great sign!

Authentic Pueblo. Great home style Pueblo Mexican food. Cold beer. Lively atmosphere. Nice patio. Great local joint

Great local spot for a hearty meal and friendly service. Spaghetti with meat sauce (mushrooms, onions and peppers) and 1/2 Crispy Chicken Salad were perfect travelers' food for us. read more

This place is AWESOME! Amazing sloppers, done the exact staple Pueblo way. The atmosphere was great and they treated us like family. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone who wants to try a hometown restaurant. read more

Best all-around food in Pueblo- Mexican, American, and Italian!! Crab legs and steak on the weekends and everything is reasonably priced. Highly recommend the spicy red beer and Felix is the most handsome server and so sweet and polite. Very cool place and the patio is beautiful !! read more

I don't know how never not learned about this place. It's a gem in the rough located near the Steel Mill. We were referred there by a friend who has a long time business in Pueblo and glad we listened. As most the places we went to that remember as having great food, eh not so good anymore. Hence, tadaaaaaa THE BEER BARREL or aka 'Polito's' Beer Barrel. We went basic. The other half had a burger and I had a slopper even though do not really eat beef anymore. Wow was the best burger the other half had during our stay. My slopper, eh I'm used to hotter green chile but regardless, tasty, fresh, well put together in all layers of ingredients. Definitely going back next visit!!! We are fans!! read more

Bar and grill food. I was told how good the food was so I went. I was not let down. My choice was the patty melt. There is a nice long list of cheeses for choices. I love hot spicy food so I went with Ghost Pepper cheese for my patty melt. I will be back for this. Plus the fries look like premium hand cut fries and were cooked to perfection for how I like hand cut fries. I was able to go on Friday for lunch. I bet it gets packed on weekends. read more

Was great service and amazing food!! Was able to see dishes come out of the kitchen and all looked good and tasty.

The food here was inexcusably terrible. Fries were crazy undercooked and soggy. From the second I laid eyes on them I could tell they were waaay underdone. The fact that the cook let those fries leave the kitchen is a clear indication that there is zero pride in the food being prepared, or even an iota of care. The burger on the other hand, was way overdone and hard, the bun soggy. And $12 for a small (aweful) burger is ambitious. If it was great, ok, still a bit overpriced but passable, but when the food is an utter dumpster fire, $12 is rediculous! read more

I love the fact that this restaurant serves fideo with their dishes! I never see that anywhere! Their red beers are yummy and their green Chile sloppers are worth trying! read more

Came here the other day after work with some colleagues. All three of us are new to the city and decided to start a "Tour de Pueblo" to visit different establishments and get to know the area a bit better. Beer Barrel came up as an option with good reviews, food available, and affordability, so we made the trip. It certainly is a local's place, however it's not one that makes you feel like an outsider intruding upon scared ground. There are bar stools on the right, chairs/tables in the middle and booths on the left. A jukebox stands in one corner and I'm told there is live music on weekends. We grabbed seats at one of the booths and were approach pretty quickly by the server who was friendly, helpful and patient as we took a while to figure out what we wanted to order. I ended up getting a side of fries. One friend tried the chicken tacos and the other a corn dog. Since it was called the Beer Barrel, I kind of assumed (incorrectly) that there would be a fair selection of beers. Our choices were Bud, Bud Light, Coors, Coors Light, and Shock Top. Went with the last option. Fries were tasty and my friends also enjoyed their bar fare. Overall a fun place, cheap food (my tab was less than $5) and drinkable beverages. Would like perhaps at least one other non-Bud/Coors choice, but beggars can't be choosers. read more

A Bessemer favorite amongst my coworkers and I. It's a very very clean dive with some pretty good food. Staff can be hit or miss, but I've usually had a good experience. Friday and Saturday nights are a blast and super busy. However...when there are bands there, it's LOUD. I think this is partially due to the building's acoustics, but...for the love of all that is holy and comes in a Schooner, can you take the volume down from an 11? read more

My husband loved this place. The bus stopped near and my husband ordered the chicken Philly and raved about it. I was too tired and didn't get off. He said it was very nice and neat on the inside and smelled awesome lol. I know he was just hungry. To him he said it was his diamond in the rough and the staff was great very prompt with service and nice, read more

I love this place! The owners are on sight and friendly. The food is a huge step above regular bar fare and the prices are reasonable. They have specials every night, steaks, all you can eat spaghetti Sunday, etc...They even have a decent wine selection! I will keep going back. read more

On the outside, This place looks like a bistro, but walk in, & it's an old school bar with booths. At any given time you can find steel workers, older genteel ladies, college kids, hookers- -it's quite a place. Everything I've had so far is home made. The hamburger patty, & real french fries!!! It's a great little bar that serves great burgers. read more
